What was said

"One of my really good friends just did over 20 years. Third month, he made $30 grand."

Schober revealed that a colleague who served over 20 years in prison earned $30,000 in his third month selling roofing door-to-door, illustrating the immediate income potential for formerly incarcerated individuals in commission-based home services. The disclosure challenges conventional assumptions about post-prison earning capacity and recidivism, suggesting financial opportunity may be the most effective rehabilitation tool.
